This Day In Music

Weirdness today:
1997, After falling over on stage when reaching for a guitar pick, Johnny Cash announced during a gig in Michigan that he was suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Ow!
1986, Dire Straits Mark Knopfler broke his collarbone after crashing in a celebrity car race before the Australian Grand Prix.
OOWWW!
1974, When Al Green was taking a shower at his Memphis home, his ex girlfriend Mary Woodson burst in and poured boiling hot grit over the singer, she then shot herself dead. Green suffered second-degree burns.
OOOOWWWWW!
1964, A riot broke out in the studio when The Rolling Stones appeared on The Ed Sullivan show in New York. Sullivan was quoted as saying 'I promise you they'll never be back on our show again'.
Bummer.


Born on this day:
1962, Chad Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers
1960, Christina Amphlett, The Divinyls

Don't forget about Tom Petty breaking his hand by punching a brick wall with his fist. Not the brightest bulb, that Tom.

Incidentally, how do you get a guitar player off of your front porch? Pay him for the pizza, of course.
